CHIEF OF NOISE
Welcome my fellow Tribe member!
Together with a team of hard working enthusiasts we are building an online
community for musicians, fans and professionals around the world.
>> we believe in a world where creative spirits are optimally enabled to
legally share their product with their public;
>> we believe that musicians must be enabled to complete their music in
cooperation with fellow musicians from all over the world;
>> we respect record companies and copyright organizations, but also the
freedom of choice by musicians to make their music available in a different

Tribe of Noise, Announces One
Billion Fans Contest to Musicians and the Masses www.tribeofnoise.com
, November 13th, 2008
Economic down turns always affect
marketing budgets from major corporations to street corner musicians. Money
troubles tend to bring out fear but not so for the people at Tribe of Noise.
They have just announced their One Billion Fans Contest. ONE BILLION FANS! Is
that even possible, you may ask? "Go
out big or just stay home",
says Chief of Noise, Hessel van Oorschot.
Here’s the deal - Fans go to www.onebillionfans.com and vote
for their favorite. The winner will be featured on the world’s biggest
digital billboard found in Times Square in New York City. Now that’s
exposure! The public voting contest ends on February 28th, 2009.
"Getting attention is getting
money", said Gerd
Leonhard, Media Futurist, and Author of "Music 2.0". He is right. In
an ever increasingly crowded consumer space, companies are seeking new ways to
compete with smaller and smaller budgets. A new sound can help them create a
stand-out corporate identity but they need to find it safely and not feel
threatened by legal action or forced to pay steep finders fees.
Tribe of Noise has legally tackled the
historic problem of sharing music. It is the first and only website solely
using the Creative Commons license and user agreements to share music for
commercial purposes. But wait, Musicians and Corporations, isn’t that
counterintuitive? "Nowadays
it's about really making it all happen yourself", said Gary
Platt, winner of RIAA Gold & Platinum Record Awards.
Corporations are also invited to join in
the fun and excitement. They can "sponsor" their current employees,
friends, family or favorite musician from their own "street corner"
in the online contest.
"Wait ‘til you see the One
Billion Fans winner up in lights over one of the busiest places in the
world", Mr. van
Oorschot.
ABOUT Tribe of Noise - One-of-a-kind

My
endeavors and music have been chosen
by for
he with his wife, Lieke, and their company, Trendwatcher, to promote to be "...featured
on the world’s biggest digital billboard found in Times Square in New York
City." - "We
will promote Cosmic D in our next online radio showTHIS
IS HANDY!and
spread the word during my lectures as a futurist."
And, uhm, it so
happens that I AM on an extended working vacation, in the hills with a view of
the ocean - five miles from the beach, horse back riding - preparing for a world tour with
my band LISTEN TO THE SUN for A Grass Roots Do-It-Yourself
Action Tour for
Developing Individual and Human Species Capacity for A Better Quality of Life
and a Viable Global Vision & Future,
including music, speakers, books, videos, etc. So, I AM ready, and getting
readier, to go.
As some of us
know well, 'just staying home' is not a desirable choice option,
in our thinking and doings, voluntarily, in this human form, on this Earth.
Note: I intend to schedule some guest for my Internet Talk Radio
broadcast in December '08 and January '09, for now, check out the broadcast

See ya,
With
The POWER of LOVE Strong & Fair,
